Estonia

Well I am finishing 1 week in Tallinn, Estonia.  By far one of my favorites in Eastern Europe.  It is so cute here!  YOu have to vacation here and check out the amazing old town that is a wole city behind a wall.  Amazing churches, history and the view of the Baltic Sea!  I have spent much time with the Estinian Microsoft Team which is a great group of folks doing so much with very few people.  My hostess Ulle was wonderful and tried to teach me lots.  I experienced an amazing old town Estonian Dinner which was very cool with old spiced wine and a German drunken Pork in Beer. it was delicious.  As I have said in previous Blogs I feel like I am in Kindergarden all over again just absorbing so much information.  Each day I learn something new!  We had an amazing view from the lounge on the 24th floor of the Radisson SAS.  After many late nights of work, sorry for putting you through the ringer Ulle, we are going to enjoy some Estonian Jazz Music tonight. 
 
So we didn’t get to Estonian Jazz but had a great dinner and fun conversation with the EPG Lead Kasper and Ulle.  I have to say I really love Estonia and I love the team.  I am looking forward to coming back with my husband this summer.  You will get a hoot out of the bathroom night- see my picture and you will see what I mean.  Even a sign on how to go to the toliet!  Check out my pictures of Estonia in my albums.

Ladies Weekend

Well we kicked-off the first annual ladies weekend.  See pictures to the side.  It is always important to sometimes get away and spend sometime with your close friends.  I am amazed at these women and all they do.  They are all so different but all a part of me.  You guys are great- keep changing the world and until next year when we head to Greece!

Koa Tao

Yesterday we went to Kao Tao.  We started breakfast at 630AM, you would think after 10 days here they would know what we would be ordering for breakfast.  We had to stuff our breakfast down in 5 minutes and made our poor bus driver.  We then got on a large catermeran and headed to Kao Tao.  Inside it was air conditioned and we wateched Misson Impossible 2.  At Kao Tao we snorkeled for 1.5 hours and it was great- FINALLY GREAT SNOREKLING.  It was a lot of fun.  Greg was first to jump off the boat and then everyone else began to follow- he broke the ice…  Next we headed to Nangyuan and had lunch.  Buffet style this lunch wasn’t as good as the previous lunch we had.  There were alot of Japanese and french tourists, very few Americans and this group wasn’t as friendly as our previous group.  After lunch we hiked to the top of the island- it is 3 islands connected by beach and then snorkeled for another 1.5 hours.  This snorkeling wasn’t as nice as Kao Tao.  We then headed back to Koh Samui. 
 
We then got massages and went shopping and Greg finally had his Lobster for dinner- HE was very happy.  Today we did another cooking class.  It was a lot of fun- I will be able to cook some great Thai dishes not sure if Gordon will be able to handle the spiciness.  Greg is hungry and loosing patience with me, so we are going.
